Happy Day After Christmas!!!:)
I’m settling in for a week-long break with the kids and I’m really looking forward to it! The To Do List is short and I’m sure the days will get longggg but the weather is looking SO good (mid/high 30’s all week and after the very negative and windy temps we’ve been dealing with, 30 will be toasty!!;) being outside and for that, we’re thankful!!!:)
I’ll keep this short because we’re gonna load up and head to Courts for coffee + French Toast. Lots of kids. Lots of sisters;). Lots of chaos, per usual:).
Someone, kindly, pointed out to me recently how lucky we all are to be so close and although, it’s never lost on me that we are SO dang blessed…I think I do often forget that this might not be the norm. Family is going to look different for everyone but I hope more than anything, that you’ve created and surrounded yourself with the very best and you feel very loved.
Having somewhere to go is Home. Having someone to love is Family. And having both is a Blessing.
Below is a song I replayed over and over this season. A new favorite.
Merry Christmas, friends:).
"What I'm Thankful For (The Thanksgiving Song)"
(with Trisha Yearwood)
(feat. James Taylor)
What I'm thankful for ain't on no list
For it only in my heart exists
For time has helped me understand
The things I can't hold in my hand
For those that came before my turn
Oh, from whom I've gathered lessons learned
That light the path that lies ahead
I see them as I bow my head
Yes, I'm thankful for the Lord above
The gift of His unending love
The promise kept that there is something more
These are the things I'm thankful for
For our children hear this prayer
Let love surround them everywhere
And may their children's children know
The one from whom all blessings flow
Yes, I'm thankful for the Lord above
The gift of His unending love
The promise kept that there is something more
These are the things I'm thankful for
And amidst these gifts and presents
We receive this holiday
May we take a thoughtful second
Just to fold our hands and pray
Yes, I'm thankful for the Lord above
The gift of His unending love
The promise kept that there is so much more
These are the things I'm thankful for
For it only in my heart exists
For time has helped me understand
The things I can't hold in my hand
For those that came before my turn
Oh, from whom I've gathered lessons learned
That light the path that lies ahead
I see them as I bow my head
Yes, I'm thankful for the Lord above
The gift of His unending love
The promise kept that there is something more
These are the things I'm thankful for
For our children hear this prayer
Let love surround them everywhere
And may their children's children know
The one from whom all blessings flow
Yes, I'm thankful for the Lord above
The gift of His unending love
The promise kept that there is something more
These are the things I'm thankful for
And amidst these gifts and presents
We receive this holiday
May we take a thoughtful second
Just to fold our hands and pray
Yes, I'm thankful for the Lord above
The gift of His unending love
The promise kept that there is so much more
These are the things I'm thankful for
